REQUIRED PRACTICES FOR STUDENTS
 —————————————————————————————————————­­­­­­—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO COVID-19
Exposure is defined as contact, within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more, with or without mask/neck gaiter protection, with a per-
son who has tested positive for the virus within the last 48 hours.
Please fill out this reporting form.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS:
If you should develop symptoms of COVID-19, please fill out this reporting form.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE
Should you test positive, please fill out this reporting form.

TESTING
Please note that free testing for those who have symptoms or were exposed to the virus is available at UMMC (https://covid-
schedule.umc.edu/), about a 5-minute drive from campus. If you need help arranging your appointment, please email studen-
tlife@millsaps.edu.

QUARANTINE/ISOLATION “GO BAG”
Students should make sure they have a bag ready with the following supplies:
    • Masks/neck gaiters
    • Hand sanitizer (at least 65% ethyl alcohol);
    • Fever-reducing medication;
    • Disinfecting cleaning supplies for rooms and private bathrooms; and
    • Technology
         o A laptop/tablet capable of running video conferencing software.
         o We ask that as many students as possible acquire a LAN (local area network) adapter suitable for their respective
           laptop/tablet. A LAN adapter allows the user to connect to an ethernet port while anywhere on campus, including
           residence hall rooms.

                                                                 2

GENERAL CAMPUS-WIDE PROTOCOL
 —————————————————————————————————————­­­­­­—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

BEHAVIORAL SIGNAGE
New cleaning standards and capacity protocols will be reinforced with strategically placed signage around campus. The sig-
nage reminds us about hygiene practices, wearing masks/neck gaiters and that the well-being of our community depends on
all of us doing our part.

FACE MASKS AND HYGIENE
Good hand hygiene and the use of appropriate masks/neck gaiters is essential to prevent person-to-person transmission of
COVID-19 in our community. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are required to wear a mask/neck gaiter in public areas,
including outdoors, and inside all buildings.

INCREASED SANITIZATION
We have implemented heightened cleaning measures to ensure the health and well-being of our community. We will disinfect
common areas more frequently and provide complimentary sanitization products in our spaces.

SOCIAL DISTANCING (6-FEET)
We have modified shared spaces with staggered seating, creating buffered zone areas and adding some physical barriers to
allow people to operate on campus while still maintaining a healthy physical distance from colleagues, community members
and visitors.

SYMPTOM-TRACKING
In addition to general health care at the Wesson Health Center, the Campus Clear symptom tracking app can be downloaded
on an app store. All athletes are required to use this service daily to accurately report any symptoms; all other students are
strongly encouraged. The app helps you determine what action(s), if any, you should take.

                             OFF CAMPUS/TRAVEL
 —————————————————————————————————————­­­­­­—————————————————————————————————————————————————————
We expect that all students will take safety precautions when they leave campus. Students are expected to follow guidance
from the governor of Mississippi, the city of Jackson, the Mississippi Department of Health and the CDC when off-campus. We
ask that all members of the college community limit non-essential travel. If you do have to travel, please follow these recom-
mendations from the CDC:

ACADEMIC CONTINUITY
 —————————————————————————————————————­­­­­­—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

If a student who is attending classes (regardless of where they are residing) becomes ill or needs to be quarantined/isolated
during the semester, they should use the reporting forms. Student Life staff will work with the Care Team to notify your class
instructors that you require remote instruction.

Once you have been cleared as fit for class by the Wesson Health Center, the Care Team will notify class instructors that you
can return to in-person instruction (if applicable).

For reference, below is a more detailed explanation of options that were offered for learning at the beginning of the semester
regarding remote-only instruction:

   OPTION 1:
   Students opting for online-only learning, living off-campus for the entire semester
      • Students will not be charged room and board, but their merit aid will be adjusted, consistent with the college’s financial
        aid policies.
      • Tuition and fees will remain the same.

   OPTION 2:
   Students living on campus and enrolling in courses that are offered online
      • Tuition and fees will remain the same.
      • If students wish to make alternate arrangements, academic advisors will work with them to adjust schedules if possible
        (this may not always be an option).
           o For example, it may be possible to switch from an online section of PSYC 1000 to an in-person section or from
             an online Connections option to an in-person, but some courses may have only online options without in-person
             variations.

COUNSELING CENTER AND MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act. It may also affect how
we handle stress, relate to others and make choices during an emergency. People with pre-existing mental health conditions or
substance use disorders may be particularly vulnerable in an emergency. Mental health conditions (such as depression, anxi-
ety, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia) affect a person’s thinking, feeling, mood or behavior in a way that influences their ability
to relate to others and function each day. These conditions may be situational (short-term) or long-lasting (chronic). People
with pre-existing mental health conditions should continue with their treatment and be aware of new or worsening symptoms.
If you think you have new or worse symptoms, call your healthcare provider.

Call your healthcare provider if stress gets in the way of your daily activities for several days in a row. Free and confidential-re-
sources can also help you or a loved one connect with a skilled, trained counselor in your area.

The Millsaps Counseling Center will continue to offer a wide range of mental health services to currently enrolled, full-time,
degree-seeking students. To promote physical distancing and health and safety, the Counseling Center will offer services
in-person and through tele-counseling. Student Life will supplement traditional offerings with programming and services
responsive to the mental health needs of students navigating the pandemic. For more information or to schedule an appoint-
ment, please email counseling@millsaps.edu.

HALL ACTIVITIES CENTER
The HAC is now open for students, faculty, and staff by appointment only. The lower floor area is not accessible at this
time, but free weights are available on the upper level for use. Users must reserve both a time slot (limited to 45 minutes) and
exercise equipment. At this time, only one slot per person per day is allowed, and there is no cross-over on equipment.
Student-athletes are not allowed to book slots during open hours.
Hours of operation are Monday–Friday, 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and 6:30 –9:30 p.m, and Saturday-Sunday 2:00-6:00 p.m.
Students may reserve a time slot and equipment here.

RESIDENCE LIFE
We ask that students with roommates and suitemates treat their respective rooms and suites as a family would treat their
household during the COVID-19 pandemic. Roommates/suitemates should limit the number (no more than one student guest
per room resident) and frequency of visitors to their rooms; engage in shared cleaning practices; keep furniture arranged to
maintain as much physical distance as possible; remind each other of symptom checks and tracking; and communicate with
each other regularly about these expectations.

                                                                  5

Millsaps College will not allow guests in the residence halls, except for move-in and move-out purposes. Campus guests may
meet students in non-residential public or outside areas on campus but are not permitted in residence halls at any time. Res-
idence hall lobbies and other common spaces will either be closed or have occupancy limits posted. Community kitchens are
open with a maximum occupancy of 2. Residents may visit each other but must always abide by COVID-related expectations.
These expectations include: mask/neck gaiter wearing, social distancing and a 1:1 occupant: guest ratio.

Housekeeping staff will provide daily cleaning for common area restrooms and showers. Resident Assistants will also engage
floor communities to create identifying occupancy systems for each common restroom.

WESSON HEALTH CENTER
The campus nurse has been integral to the college’s planning and fall reopening preparation work. In addition to providing
and maintaining its standard menu of services for eligible students, the Wesson Health Center is developing clinical protocols
for caring for students exhibiting COVID-like symptoms. The Wesson Health Center will not permit walk-in visits for students
with respiratory illnesses or potential COVID-19 symptoms. Students will be asked pre-screening questions via phone or email.

Millsaps has expanded its partnership with the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). Millsaps contracts with
UMMC to staff medical residents in the health center on a rotational basis to provide medical services. Millsaps students will
also have access to UMMC’s telehealth services.

For more information, please call 601-974-1207 or email studentlife@millsaps.edu

STUDENT CONDUCT
As a reminder, students are always responsible to the rules and expectations outlined in Major Facts. This applies from admis-
sion to graduation and whether a student is on or off campus. On campus residents are also responsible to the standards set in
the housing contract.

Refusal of a student to follow the safety guidelines will result in disciplinary action up to and including removal from campus
housing, suspension or expulsion from campus in accordance with the student conduct process.

Email us at studentlife@millsaps.edu to let us know if you witness behaviors that compromise our shared safety goals or need
to report other student conduct violations.
